Directions

1. Cut bread into cubes.  
2. Preheat convection oven to 350° F. Spray a 2-inch-deep hotel pan with nonstick cooking spray.  
3. Place cubed bread in the prepared hotel pan.  
4. Prepare the batter. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and Chocolate SunButter. Chocolate SunButter may not fully dissolve, and small amounts of separation are acceptable.  
5. Combine bread and batter. Pour batter evenly over the cubed bread. Gently press the bread into the batter to ensure all pieces are coated and moistened.  
6. Bake. Cover the hotel pan and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and continue baking for approximately 10 – 15 minutes, or until the center is set and the internal temperature reaches 165° F.  
7. Cool and portion. Allow the Chocolate SunButter French toast bake to cool for approximately 10 minutes. Cut into 25 equal portions.   
8. Serve or hold for service. Serve with sliced bananas and/or maple syrup, if desired. If holding for service, maintain at 135° or above.
